    Restrict workstation to only allow logon by one user

    There is a workstation with us on our network which should only allow a specific user or group of users to login in there. I am able to restrict the user to a specific workstation however I want to restrict a workstation to some specific users. Can anyone tell me how to configure that? Thanks.

    When you are on a DC, open up User Manager for domains. After that double click the user you want to restrict. It will then open the properties page for that user. Next, you have to click on the button labeled "Logon To" at the bottom, in the center of the row of buttons. When a window will pop up, then click the radio button labeled "User May Logon To these Workstations". Now, in the fields below, enter 1 or more workstations that you would like to limit the user to and then click OK.

    If you are creating the restriction in a specific GPO and not globally, then it couldnt be done, it will not affect anyone that is not in the group used in the GPO applied to that specific OU. Check out some below links on GPOs and OUs:
